Prime Minister to take vacation soon

He made the announcement at the Unity Labour Party (ULP) rally at Biabou, on Sunday evening.

âIâve been working very, very hard without a holiday. Very shortly, I intend to take a couple weeks off and I will show the NDP that I can take a couple weeks off and leave the ship of state in the hands of comrade sister Girlyn Miguel,â said Gonsalves.

Miguel, the countryâs first female Deputy Prime Minister, was appointed to the post shortly after the December 13, 2010, General Elections. She replaced former Deputy Prime Minister Sir Louis Straker.
